Return to Mora Beach

I love the Olympic Peninsula.  Love driving up there for work. Love sunsets, sunrises, sea otters, river otters, elk, owls, seals, the steep slopes of the Olympics, views of Vancouver Island and Mt Baker & the lush forests.  Thankfully a crappy hotel room in Forks decorated in full Twilight drove me out to the beach.  The make shift shelters that bums sleep in were looking more cozy...

No edits.  All taken with the Canon 40D.

Adobe Lightroom Trial

 

All original images were bland typical cloudy NW gray-tone images.   As a trial to Lightroom I wanted to change the images to have a tinted photograph feel, like the old images that captured the imagination of a potential tourists.  This is in comparison to using Apple Aperture.  Apple has several automatic stylized image settings, like a cross between Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, whereas in Lightroom one has many more image fine tuning options.
